That's it really!

What for? To avoid a wet spot? No. It was the one time I didn't worry about getting pregnant.

RillaBlythe · 28/11/2012 11:26

I personally didn't.

However being pregnant won't prevent infection so if sleeping with a new partner I would.

wewereherefirst · 28/11/2012 11:27

Never have and I wouldn't unless I was worried that DH was shagging about/had an STI...

NoTeaForMe · 28/11/2012 11:30

If it was not a new partner and was your husband and had no reason to think there was any cheating from either partner.

Nope

ginmakesitallok · 28/11/2012 11:32

Why would you? You can't get pregnant twice?

Softlysoftly · 28/11/2012 11:32

Ok now I need to know why you are asking

RillaBlythe · 28/11/2012 11:32

In that case, no.

NoTeaForMe · 28/11/2012 11:34

Just wondered ... My husband had a health check as e has health insurance through work, they asked him what contraception he was using and he said none as I'm pregnant and the dr told him off, saying that doesn't matter, you should always use condoms due to STI's etc. surely but we've obviously had unprotected sex to get pregnant! We've also been together 10 years.

Just seemed so weird to us, but got me wondering of we were off for not using them!

I have heard of woman who got pregnant and then slept with another man and ended up with twins to different men. One baby was older by a few week!

Not sure if its true or not. I might have a google and see

curiousuze · 28/11/2012 11:37

Well, yes for protection from STIs, otherwise no need I'd have thought.

BerthaKitt · 28/11/2012 11:38

The doctor sounds like he or she has not thought things through.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 28/11/2012 11:39

this is one of them

MrsMiniversCharlady · 28/11/2012 11:48

Well, I would have thought that if you didn't already have trust issues in your relationship then some would develop pretty quickly if you insisted on using condoms throughout pregnancy...Grin

redexpat · 28/11/2012 12:49

Yes always, (unless TTC) because it eliminates the wet patch.

HazelnutinCaramel · 28/11/2012 12:54

The doctor is either a loon or a terrible cynic!

ISeeThreadPeople · 28/11/2012 12:56

Yup always, not due to an sti risk or lack of trust though.

Splinters · 28/11/2012 13:06

And what if this had been a few months earlier and your husband had said 'No, because we're trying to conceive'?

ErikNorseman · 28/11/2012 13:09

Ridiculous!

VenusRising · 28/11/2012 13:14

It's a hostile medical - they always think the worst.

FWIW I had thrush when pregnant, and condoms were essential.

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 28/11/2012 13:16

Wierd!

FeckOffCup · 28/11/2012 13:17

I could believe twins with different fathers if the woman slept with 2 men in the same couple of days and released two eggs in that ovulation but surely it's not possible for there to be a few weeks gestation difference Confused?

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 28/11/2012 13:19

Nope

I'd say the docs weird tbh!

EverythingsDozy · 28/11/2012 13:38

I do but I don't like mess!!
